    FJK the remodel I just completed in the above comment about DIYers was completed in a bathroom that was 9' x 6'. I was able to get a corner whirlpoll, a 5' x 3' shower and a large vanity with upper cabinets all in this location. You just need to sit down and determine wether you want the tub...

    Why 2" drain for shower

    I am as my screen name states, a serious DIYer. I get aggrevated when reading things from the professionals who are jealous of homeowners who have the same skills that they have. They think that we are just a bunch of cheap skates who would prefer to half-a** something than over pay one of the...

    Pressure switch chatter

    I also have a check valve between the well head and the pump. The documentation that came with my tank and pump shows a check valve at the t so I put one there. If it can cause a problem, I will remove it. If it will not cause problems, I will leave it.

    Pressure switch chatter

    From pump, through a full bore shut off, through the foundation, From there, through a check valve mounted on the t to the tank. Pretty basic.

    Pressure switch chatter

    My pressure swith is located at the pump. The line comes from the pump head to the pressure switch which is mounted to the pump motor. The tank is approximately 3.5 feet from the pump. If I mount the pressure switch on the tank t, will this solve my problem?
